Bringing NetOps Into The Threat Hunt – Ward Cobleigh – BSW #154
Ward Cobleigh is the Sr. Product Manager at VIAVI Solutions. In a very recent study, 65% of responding organizations reported a shortage of cybersecurity staff, with a lack of skilled or experienced security personnel their number one workplace concern (36%). To help fill this void, there is a very real and still growing need to cross-train existing professionals and teams whenever possible. How achievable is this goal? Can we really take the typical NetOps skillset, combine it with the data sources that are typically available to them, and apply this to the SecOps skills gap? This Business Security Week Podcast will answer these questions and include a demonstration of how a performance analysis platform can be used to quickly and efficiently identify threats.
Guest
Ward Cobleigh, Product Line Manager for VIAVI Solutions, understands the balancing act between efficient service delivery and security that IT pros are facing today along with the challenges they have in solving issues due to limited visibility combined with complexity and rapid change. His experience in development, sales, marketing, alliances, and product management allow him to see things from multiple perspectives, cut to the heart of the problem, and demonstrate solutions that give engineers a sigh of relief and help decision makers see the value. He brings a refreshing bit of humor to the sometimes dry, technical topics of network performance and threat management.
